Let me start by saying it is great to see Horst back and that he is recovering well. It must have been a really challenging time.

 

Back on topic. One of my pet hates is the excessive and out of place use of the word “like”. This video was particularly bad, so much so that I gave up at 20 minutes it. It is one of those words that once it is heard I just cannot stop hearing every miss-use of it. Yes, partly that is my problem. When it is being used ironically that is fine but that was mainly not the case here. Both hosts were jay over the top with the incessant likes. 
 

Please team, train yourselves to be better. I know it can be hard in a free flowing chat to not pause, and the word can be used as a filler. Some use it to keep the conversation on their side while they gather their thoughts. It is not needed.

But, like, what else are they supposed to, like, say when they, like, pause to think but, like, want to keep, like, talking so they don't, like, get, like, interrupted? 

 

uuuuuuuugh.

 

I went to college in the mid-2000s, when val-speak came back around again. I feel your pain.

 

(I haven't watched the whole video yet, but if this is crash-related I apologize. Incessant "like"s are just a pet peeve verbal tic.)

"Like", "You know", "Umm".  Then there's always the "Could care less" that drives me up the wall.

 

It's not just you.

"Umm".

The "umm", I think that's okay. It is meant to be used as a filler sound, rather than the others which are meaningful words that people shove into their sentences too often.

I'm sure it can't be as bad as Linus and Luke talking about visit to some factory in Taiwan where everything was described as "cool", "super cool" and "super super cool". Or Luke saying "really" at CES or Computex one year.

I find it really annoying that Linus constantly says "It doesn't matter" when he can't rememeber something.  If it doesn't matter, why'd you bring it up?

lol he really does like to bring up things that doesn't matter. It's the main reason WAN show discussion always go off tangent.

I actually say like so much that I will type out like in sentences, because I generally type like, how I speak, pauses and all.

 

if you don’t like it (rimshot), sucks to be you, some people are just like that (yet another rimshot)
